National Assembly approved Monday lifting immunity of MP Dr. Abdulhamid Dashti after being sentenced in abscentia by Bahrain and convicted in other regular felons.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah pointed out that the Kuwaiti Government "suits actions to words" when it comes to the country's security and neighboring countries' respect.

The minister rejected assumptions that called out the Government of being "idler," stressing that the Foreign Ministry is making all efforts to safeguard the country's stability and to protect its ties with neighboring nations.
